It shall be granted to you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom, it shall be done.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/esther/7-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Then Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be spared as my petition, and my people [be spared] as my request; <span class="reftext"><a href="/esther/7-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed and wiped out of existence. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for our hardship would not be sufficient to burden the king [by even mentioning it].” <span class="reftext"><a href="/esther/7-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Then King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) asked Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who dares to do such a thing?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/esther/7-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy is Haman, this evil man.” Then Haman became terrified before the king and queen. <p class="hdg">Haman Is Hanged</p><span class="reftext"><a href="/esther/7-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then in his fury, the king stood up from drinking wine <i>and went</i> into the palace garden [to decide what he should do]; but Haman stayed to plead for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king. <span class="reftext"><a href="/esther/7-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>When the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even <i>attempt to</i> assault the queen with me in the palace?” As the king spoke those words, the servants covered Haman’s face [in preparation for execution]. <span class="reftext"><a href="/esther/7-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs serving the king said, “Now look, there are gallows fifty cubits (75 ft.) high standing at Haman’s house, which Haman made for Mordecai, whose good warning saved the king.” And the king said, “Hang him on it.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/esther/7-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai.
